at the top of the category and the makes the first sentence of the “About the xxxxx category” topic appear next to the icon. (screenshot 2 below)

Whilst I like the introduction text appearing at the top, challenges include:

determining an optimal size for the icon

the icon takes up a lot of space on mobile devices (can probably be solved with CSS changes)

I’ve also used small white images as an icon to bring the sentence to the top without the image size issues. (e.g. Open Economics). Care is needed with the height of the image otherwise text wrapping is not great.

I like the icons and I think they’re better but I would just go organically with this. I imagine the people more interested in the category will make it prettier (I don’t know if discuss has granular permissions for that).

Resizing the various logos provided in the link above doesn’t work great in the tools I have, so an SVG file for working/local group artwork would help so we could make clear small versions of icons like this…
